Additionally, a source close to the organization told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) a currently unannounced bantamweight fight between Mark Oshiro (12-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Nick Mamalis (8-4 MMA, 0-0 BFC) is expected to take the final spot on the night’s FOX Sports Net-televised main card.

Bellator 20 takes place May 27 at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Texas. Two middleweight tournament semifinal fights are also slated for the night’s televised card.

The reason for Kelly’s departure was not immediately known.

Cole makes his second Bellator appearance after suffering a TKO loss to Rudy Lindey at Bellator 3-4 in 2009. The five-year vet has competed with organizations ranging from the IFL to Strikeforce to EliteXC but enters next week’s bout with a three-fight losing streak.

Sanchez, who went 3-3 in the UFC from 2006 to 2008, owns a three-fight win streak since leaving the organization. He began the streak with a 10-second knockout of Jay White at Bellator 8 in 2009.

Either fighter conceivably could earn a ticket into Bellator’s season-three heavyweight tournament with an impressive showing at Bellator 20.

Oshiro, meanwhile, looks for a breakout performance. The Hawaiian bantamweight and ICON Sport veteran went 3-1 in the now-defunct EliteXC organization. However, he’s fought just once in the past two years, which was a submission victory over Felipe Chavez in a September UNU show.

Oshiro recently was announced for Bellator’s season-three bantamweight title and looks to enter the eight-man field on a winning note.

Mamalis makes his Bellator debut with a three-fight win streak and six wins in his past seven fights. A veteran of Jeremy Horn’s Elite Fight Night and other Northeast-area organizations recently scored a decision win over Zach Wolff (12-7 at the time). It was his first win that didn’t come via stoppage.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
